Rick,
I know for a fact that several members of this group (including myself) complained directly to Mark about his REPEATED invitations (which he ignored) so the complaints were forwarded to Yahoo.

However, he indicated that he had no warning from Yahoo. As owner of another group that had Mark's posts at times, which were repeated on various groups, the material he was presenting was not spam that I saw, but directly associated with amateur radio, usually digital radio. If you are referring to sending information to an individual to join a group, is that spam when it is related to their interest area? I have sent messages to specific individuals to join the HFDEC group when I felt that they would be the type of hams who would find that of value. I admit that Mark was a major promoter of his specific digital interests, but we each have our specific interests. 73, Rick, KV9U moderator, HFDEC (Hams for Disaster and Emergency Communications) James R.
